Experience the thrill of white water rafting and tubing in Tasmania, with four main locations offering a range of rapids to suit different skill levels. While rafting is not directly available within Hobart City Centre, you can embark on a journey to nearby locations for an unforgettable adventure. Some of the top options include the Mersey River Whitewater Rafting Tour, which takes you about one and a half hours south of Hobart through the picturesque Huon Valley, providing qualified guides, wetsuits, safety gear, and more. Another option is the King River, where you can negotiate Grade 3 rapids while exploring the West Coast Tasmania and marveling at ancient Huon Pine trees in the rainforest.
Rafting in Tasmania offers a mix of adrenaline-pumping white water moments and tranquil reflections, with fully guided one-day tours or multi-day tours that take you deep into the wilderness. For a more relaxed water activity, consider tubing on the tree-fringed Yarra River, located about 45 minutes from the city center. This river features Grade 1 and 2 rapids, offering a leisurely way to explore the area.
